DDoS-Attacker DDoS-Attacker is a robust load-testing tool that helps developers and DevOps engineers assess the strength and reliability of their APIs. By simulating distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, it allows users to test how well their APIs handle high volumes of requests. This project is ideal for identifying bottlenecks, optimizing server performance, and ensuring API resilience under stress.

Table of Contents Features How It Works Getting Started Prerequisites Installation Usage Example Contribution License Features API Strength Testing: Sends a configurable number of requests to an endpoint to evaluate its response to high traffic. Customizable Parameters: Set the number of requests, delay between requests, and target URL for detailed control over the test. Real-Time Results: Shows response times and the overall success rate, helping identify weaknesses. Simple Setup: Easy to install and run with minimal setup. How It Works The DDoS-Attacker tool enables users to enter specific parameters, such as:

URL: The endpoint to be tested. Number of Requests: The number of requests to simulate the traffic. Delay: Optional delay between requests to mimic more realistic traffic patterns. Once these parameters are provided, DDoS-Attacker begins sending requests and monitors the API’s behavior under pressure. The tool then summarizes the API’s resilience based on response times and error rates, providing insights into how well the API can withstand potential DDoS attacks.

Getting Started Prerequisites Go: Make sure you have Go installed. You can download it here. Installation Clone the repository:

bash Copy code git clone https://github.com/your-username/DDoS-Attacker.git cd DDoS-Attacker Install the dependencies:

bash Copy code go mod tidy Generate the Swagger documentation (optional for developers):

bash Copy code swag init Usage Run the program with the following command:

bash Copy code go run main.go Endpoint: By default, Swagger UI will be available at http://localhost:8080/swagger/index.html where you can input parameters and view results. Parameters: Use the Swagger UI or directly set the required parameters (URL, NumRequests, and Delay) to test your API. Example Access Swagger UI at http://localhost:8080/swagger/index.html. Enter: URL: The target endpoint. NumRequests: Set the volume (e.g., 1000 requests). Delay (optional): Specify any delay between requests in milliseconds. Run the test to see a detailed report of response times, errors, and performance. Sample Output: yaml Copy code Load Test Result: URL: https://example.com/api Requests Sent: 1000 Average Response Time: 120ms Error Rate: 0.5% Status: API is resilient under stress Contribution Contributions are welcome! Feel free to open an issue or submit a pull request to improve DDoS-Attacker. Whether it’s a bug fix, feature request, or documentation update, your input is appreciated.
